Should The World be Worried About The Increasing Number of Endangered Languages?

The world is facing a massive pace of extinction and changes, from the economy, to technology and to languages. Due to the massive influence of major economies, knowledge and interest of people towards languages are being influenced, and it puts many minor languages into a linguistic danger zone.

Every language that dies signifies a considerable loss in the cultural heritage of the people that used to speak it. Whether it's a major or minor language, its importance is just as vital as any other, which we use to understand different ideas in science, medicine, technology and other common areas of knowledge in human existence. As a language dies, a community is losing their expression and their cultural heritage.

Although languages are not constant and are forever changing and developing over time, however the pace and time at which languages are disappearing today is very alarming, and somehow it is not being given enough attention by people. Experts believe that in the next 100 years, half of the world's approximate 7,000 languages are considered to be endangered of disappearing.

But, what does "endangered language" mean?

An endangered language is one that is likely to lose a significant number of native speakers and is slowly losing importance in the community. Many fairly large languages, not to mention minor ones, are vanishing and being replaced by major languages that are dominant and influencing people's daily lives. Sadly, many endangered languages today are simply not being learned in schools, especially if the last speaker is no longer alive and thus, the essence and the main importance of that language is gradually becoming completely extinct and dead; thus, it is difficult to save.

However, there are some dead ancient languages today that even though they are not officially spoken by people, still have a vital significance in the study of every people about the rich history of ancient traditions. Thus today, the influence of some dead languages, such as Ancient Greek and Latin, on modern ones, nd our culture in general, is still significant.

Languages such as Ancient Greek and Latin, are considered dead languages because they are no longer spoken by people as native speakers, although some of their uses are still significant in religious practices and scientific knowledge.

There are numerous options in order to save and revive a language, but it may require a massive amount of work and a lot of practice. The problem is that there are so many languages that are disappearing today, even though many linguists are trying to learn some of them, so that even though even if the language disappears, the knowledge to impart the language to future generations of people that could possibly revive that language.

Due to increasing numbers of dead or dying languages nowadays, it is very important that people should pay attention and take action in helping to preserve them, and their own cultural identity.
